Touch is definitely the way to go "if" it doesn't sacrifice readability and as you point out there is enough of a bezel to still hold the device without flipping pages. It let's you eliminate all the other buttons since it can now be handled through on screen actions. The one potential drawback is the speed of the e-ink, but the new controller that allows localized screen refreshes may fix that problem. At least the good news is that the market seems to be moving in many directions at once which will give us good choices in the future. I'm just too impatient to wait
